Learn On-the-Go
As much as we may love our Macs, we can't have them all the time. It's nice to be able to study when you're away from your computer. This lets you take advantage of any free time you have to polish up your language skills.
Web
If you often use another computer- at work, in the library, or wherever- you can study there by uploading your words to a web page. This lets you access your words from any computer (with internet access), even if Lexicon isn't installed there. To upload your words, first open your document in Lexicon. Choose the Group you want to upload (if you want to publish all of your words, choose the "All Words" group). Then select File > Publish to Web. You will see a window which will ask you for the information needed to publish your words to a website. The easiest way to do this is to use .Mac. But iff you don't have a .Mac account you can still upload your words: you can first publish to a folder, and then upload that folder to your website (Note: you will need a web hosting provider). Ask your hosting provider for details of uploading to your web site. Also, most FTP programs have a Synchronize or Mirror feature that will automatically update a server from a given folder: this makes updating your web site easier.
Of course sometimes you might not have a computer at all to study with. In that case, you can print out a copy of your words in several different formats. If you just want a list of words, go to Edit mode and choose File > Print List. This will print a table view of all of the words in the current group. If you want to review your words more interactively, you can print out flash cards. First go to Practice Mode, then set up the Practice settings as you want (you don't have to click Start), then choose File > Print Practice. This will print out flash cards which you can cut out and hold for easy on-the-go practice (instructions are printed out as well). Finally, you can also print a quiz for yourself (or others). First, go to Practice mode, then set up the Quiz how you want, the choose File > Print Quiz. This will print a basic multiple choice or short answer quiz, and also the answer key at the end (No cheating!).
